We really do feel lucky to have seen this video. This is, of course, the Jaugar F-Type Project 7 Concept filmed on display at the Goodwood Festival of Speed 2013 by Shmee150.
For a dynamic debut, the Project 7 does seem a little static sitting at the Michelin Supercar Paddock, but of course we'll eventually get to see it in action. This car is fantastic because it's evocative of the past without being retro. Everybody sees a little bit of D-Type in its design, but not to the point of being old-fashioned for no reason.
Hopefully, this car previews something which Jaguar wants to and can put into production. Beyond the carbon fiber body elements and the cool paint, there's also a monster of an engine. Project 7 sports the 550 HP version of the 5-liter engine that takes it from 0 to 60 in 4.1 seconds and on to a top speed of 186 mph (300 km/h).
Mihnea's favorite cars have already been built, the so-called modern classics from the '80s and '90s. He also loves local car culture from all over the world, so don't be surprised to see him getting excited about weird Japanese imports, low-rider VWs out of Germany, replicas from Russia or LS swaps down in Florida.
